A debugger was found to be helpless in this particular case. I think
I found the real cause of the problem. The first suspected culprit
make-docfile turned out to be innocent by borrowing the make-docfile
from 21.1.90 produced the same result. The real problem is in
makefile.w32-in. I don't know much about how make-docfile operates
but it obviously expects some .elc files instead of .el files. By
comparing the makefile with the one in 21.1.90 and restoring those elc
definitions in lisp= macro the lost doc strings are recovered.
I suppose the following change in lib-src/ChangeLog is responsible
for this.

* makefile.w32-in (FACE_SUPPORT):
(MOUSE_SUPPORT):
(FLOAT_SUPPORT):
(WINNT_SUPPORT):
(lisp): Reference .el files instead of .elc files, to simplify
bootstrapping.
($(DOC)): Change dependency to just `make-docfile'.
